Hello Everyone,

I have found a mistake, look at below: "Naples is a conundrum of how well modern highrise offices and apartments can seamlessly blend with ancient monuments. Fountains thousands of years oldstand majestically in front of modern glass and steel edifices."

It should be "old stand" instead of "oldstand"

Kind regards,

[Torsten]

Hi Mickhael,

Thanks for pointing this out. I've added the space and it will appear with the next database update.

Regards,
Torsten
